In the World of Tomorrow, Google Plans to Use AI to Do Everything

In 2014 Google acquired London based DeepMind which they have turned into the single largest collection of brain power and resources focused solely on the development of artificial intelligence. They have over 250 PhDs working with essentially unlimited funding and resources.

DeepMind has two goals. One, try to solve intelligence. Two, use that to do everything else.

In step one they are first trying to figure out how the human brain allowed us to take over the planet. To do that they have scores of neuroscientists and psychologists and cognitive scientists hacking away at our best theories of how our brains work and disseminating that to computer scientists who try to recreate that ability in silicon chips.

In step two they plan to apply that to everything else. Very literally, everything else.

Hello abauer518 and thanks for your comment. I think it depends on the speed at which the AI is rolled out. In a competitive, global market though, I don’t see how you can slow it down once it gets going. For example, once FedEx switches to driverless trucks, UPS will be forced to follow, and so on. What jobs do you invision the highly intelligent individuals will still be doing?

Sir Julian Huxley, first Director General of UNESCO

"Even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable."

"A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of "liberalism" they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
